Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte delighted royal fans with their matching outfits at this year's Trooping the Colour, offering a heartwarming mother-daughter moment during the royal procession up the Mall. Kate wore a striking turquoise and white Catherine Walker coat dress paired with a matching hat by Juliette Botterilll Milliner, while Charlotte echoed the look in a high-neck, long-sleeved dress in the same vibrant hue, as reported by The Mirror.
The two shared smiles and laughs as they waved from their carriage, joined by Prince George and Prince Louis. Meanwhile, Prince William took part in the parade on horseback, riding alongside other senior members of the royal family.
Kate's outfit appears to be a thoughtful nod to Princess Diana, closely mirroring a turquoise and white Catherine Walker suit Diana wore during a 1992 visit to New Delhi, India. The subtle tribute may carry added significance in light of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, suggesting Kate's choice was not only a gesture of remembrance for Diana but also a quiet show of solidarity with those affected by the tragedy in India, as reported by InStyle.

In a subtle yet meaningful gesture, Kate paid special tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II by wearing a pair of drop pearl earrings that once belonged to Her Majesty. The elegant accessory choice added a layer of remembrance to her ensemble, honoring the Queen's enduring legacy during one of the royal family's most symbolic events.

‘Dozed off at his own birthday party': Donald Trump's ‘facecard' during the US Military Parade sparks meme-fest
'Tis is a big fat celebration for the birthday of the big boy! When the US Army's 250th anniversary coincides with the 79th birthday of the President of the United States of America, and the Commander-in-Chief calls for a celebration worth $45 million (estimated), the least you can do is have a good time! Turns out, even that pursuit fell flat! And the US Prez was caught quite 'bored' in the middle of the high-profile event. What happened? On June 14, the US President Donald Trump presided over a grand military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating both the US Army's 250th anniversary, which happened to be his 79th birthday. The event featured approximately 7,000 troops, 150 military vehicles—including M1A1 Abrams and Sherman tanks—and 50 aircraft, including WWII-era P-51 Mustangs. The parade began at the Pentagon and concluded at the National Mall, covering a route secured by an 18-mile perimeter and extensive drone surveillance. The celebration was part of the United States Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the nation's founding. However, judging by Trump's face, it was less of a celebration for him, as one internet user pointed out, 'It's your birthday. It's Saturday night. But you made one critical mistake: You threw a $45 million parade for yourself without realizing you'd be bored out of your mind.' Trump facecard gone wrong! Although the parade was supposedly a realization of Trump's long-held desire for a military display, inspired by his experience at France's Bastille Day celebrations in 2017, the event faced criticism due to its estimated cost of $25–$45 million, especially amid ongoing government cost-cutting measures. Moreover, critics viewed the parade as a display of authoritarianism, with some Republican voices also expressing concern. The absence of bipartisan political leaders at the event further fueled perceptions of a personalized spectacle. However, nothing matched the intense meme-fest Trump's facecard sparked – all over social media! Looking visibly 'bored', and 'irritated' to a great extent, the US Prez was seen quite miffed. Not just that, some even claimed that Trump probably dozed off during the ongoing military parade! The online frenzy! As Trump's 'bored' facecard went viral on social media, one internet user asked Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, 'why Trump looks grossed out on the picture,' to which Grok replied, 'It's unclear exactly why Trump appeared "grossed out" in the photo from the Army's 250th anniversary parade on June 14, 2025.' However, Grok made a list of 'possible factors' of Trump being grossed-out that included: '1. Nationwide "No Kings" protests against his policies, though none were in D.C. 2. Light rain during the event, which might have caused discomfort. 3. A personal reaction to something specific, like a comment or minor incident, though no such event was reported.' Some internet users even started crying from lauging too hard, and commented, 'Holy shit this is so funny! Spend the past week hyping up this military parade and telling people to not worry about the No King rallies while the rallies in buttfuck nowhere Alabama probably had more people at it then the parade.' While some netizens deemed this to be their 'favorite picture of Trump ever,' another bunch called it, 'I think that is his it's going in the diaper face!' One internet user even pointed out the utter confusion of the guy sitting right behind him, 'guy on the right is trying to figure out where that dirty diaper smell is coming from!'

My sister works with these people. I've seen her cry for them, and I've cried with her. Please don't judge someone's heart based on a brief moment you saw on camera. This is a tragedy, and we should all be mourning it with compassion, not tearing each other down." Previously Reem opened up in an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit. She talked about her elder half sister, Riya Sharma, she said, "A lot of people don't know because you know she is an Air Hostess, so half of the time she is not here."

Lekin aaye main aapko aisi shaks milane jaa raha ho jisko iss baat ka pata nahi ke yeh hua hai.' 'Inko pata hie nahi hai ke air crash hua hai aur itne log maare gaye hai. Inki zindagi vanity van ke bahar nikli nahi hai abhi tak. Yeh ussi vanity van mein ghum rahi hai," he further added.
